This commit changes the code in post notification endpoint to handle a
serialised template (ie a `dict`) rather than a database object.
This is the first step towards being able to cache the template and not
hit the database on every request.
There should be no functional changes here, it’s just refactoring.
There are some changes to the tests where the signature of functions
has changed.
Importing of the template schema has to be done at a function level,
otherwise Marshmallow gets weird.
This commit also copies the `JSONModel` class from the admin app, which
turns serialised data (a dict made from JSON) into an object on which
certain predefined properties are allowed.
This means we can still do the caching of serialised data, without
having to change too much of the code in the app, or make it ugly by
sprinkling dict lookups everywhere.
We’re not copying all of JSONModel from the admin app, just the bits we
need. We don’t need to compare or hash these objects, they’re just used
for lookups. And redefining `__getattribute__` scares Leo.
In the previous PR I removed the `update_notification` method to reduce the need for another update query. However, that meant the notification was marked as delivered without an updated_at timestamp.
It is weird to set the updated_at when we create the notification. So is this a better fix? Or do I put the update back now?
I recommend we push this fix now.
At the moment we’re not consistent:
Precompiled (API and one-off):
`to` has the whole address
`normalised_to` has nothing
Templated (API, CSV and one off):
`to` has the first line of the address
`normalised_to` has nothing
This commit makes us consistently store the whole address in the `to`
field. We think that people might want to search by postcode, not just
first line of the address.
This commit also starts to populate the normalised_to field with the
address lowercased and with all spaces removed, to make it easier to
search on.
we now no longer create a job. At the end of the post there is no
action, as we don't have any tasks to queue immediately - if it's a
real notification it'll get picked up in the evening scheduled task.
If it's a test notification, we create it with an initial status of
sending so that we can be sure it'll never get picked up - and then we
trigger the update-letter-notifications-to-sent-to-dvla task to sent
the sent-at/by.
1. No longer create jobs when creating letters from api 🎉
2. Bulk update notifications based on the notification references after
we send them to DVLA - either as success or as error
so they can be distinguished on the frontend.
Also, some related cleanup:
* don't show test api letters on the frontpage
* make sure the subject is returned from the API for letters
* make sure the letter's address is returned for letters
there are three steps to this
1. Create a job
* Starts in status 'ready to send'
* Created by None, since it's from the API
* original file name 'letter submitted via api'
2. Create a single notification for that job
* job_row_number 0
* client reference if provided
* address line 1 as recipient
3. Trigger the build_dvla_file task
we know that all the notifications have been created for this job
(since we just created them ourselves synchronously), so this will
just create the dvla-format file for the job, and upload it to s3.
